The After Life

 Yup. Done with all the baby making. Done with the mood swings and the monthly bloat for a few years now. Love it. But... now it is catching up with me. I miss my estrogen. 

There is loss. But is it age? Yup. 

I can't just go up to Mountain Drive and run a nice medium paced 8 miler anymore. There are consequences. Well, not always a consequence... but enough. I can't just jump out and do it anymore. It the new normal... the after estrogen life. 

Wow. I really never thought this body would get old, but it is. In many ways I am physically stronger than ever, but you wouldn't know that from looking at me. Yikes. I look in the mirror and  I am so middle aged. Yup. I am very middle aged. 

I'm searching for the new normal.
